Naked Authentic Relating

Come disrobe, physically and metaphorically, in a safe, playful, and welcoming space.

Through games and exercises, explore your relationship with your body, remember the joy of nudity most of us had as children, and find more love for yourself as you are.

This is a NON-SEXUAL event. All feelings are welcome, but we won't be running sexual energy.

First and potentially only time this workshop will be offered in the Bay Area.

Event will be gender balanced.

FAQ:

What is Authentic Relating?

Authentic Relating is a set of practices to cultivate deeper connection to ourselves and others. It encourages vulnerability, presence practice, and welcomes all emotional experiences true to participants. Games can vary from reverent to irreverent, comforting to confronting, and deep to courageous.

Who is this for?

Maybe you love AR, maybe you’ve never heard of it, maybe you already love your body completely, maybe you struggle to fully love your body - all are welcome and belong here.

Do I have to get naked?

Yes. We’re asking for full nude for participation for the gelling and safety of the container. You may also leave at any time (but no outs & ins to respect the container).

Can I come late or leave early?

For the safety and flow of the whole container, you must be on time (we won’t allow late entries), and we ask you stay for the duration of the experience.

Will you gender balance?

Yes.

Is this a sexual container?

No.

What do I wear?

Honestly doesn’t matter too much, whatever you’re comfortable in, but we will be inviting clothes to come completely off (yes even underwear!).
